Aftermarket wheels for an 89 shelby

[shelby_guy04]

I found some wheels i really want but im not sure if they will fit or not. I've searched for a while and didn't find exactly what i needed so I thought i'd start a new topic. the wheels i want are a 17 X 8 and i havent been able to find pics of a car with these or the offset or tire size i would need. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. thanks

You deff need +35 offset, then the largest tire that may fit is a 245/40/17. I say may fit b/c you may have rubbing.

You may also need a small spacer w/ that but shouldn't.

I have 245/45/17's on my Spirit(17x7.5", +35 offset rims) and thats basically as large as you can go period. It took mods to fit them as they rubbed the fenders bad, also I have coilovers since they would be too tall and hit the spring perch. Also have stiff springs or it would bash my fenders.
